چکیده
We review the present status of theoretical predictions for both closed (J/ψ) and open heavy quark production in high energy collisions, and their comparisons to experimental data.

Recent Progress on Perturbative QCD Fragmentation Functions
The recent development of perturbative QCD (PQCD) fragmentation functions has strong impact on quarkonium production. I shall summarize Bc meson production based on these PQCD fragmentation functions, as well as, the highlights of some recent activities on applying these PQCD fragmentation functions to explain anomalous J/ψ and ψ production at the Tevatron. Finally, I discuss a fragmentation mo...
متن کاملEvidence for charmonium generation at the phase boundary in ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions
We investigate the transition from suppression to enhancement of J/ψ mesons produced in ultra-relativistic nuclear collisions in the framework of the statistical hadronization model. The calculations are confronted with the most recent data from the RHIC accelerator. This comparison yields first direct evidence for generation of J/ψ mesons at the phase boundary. Based on the success of this app...
متن کاملMeasurements of heavy quark production via single leptons at PHENIX
The measurement of single leptons from the semi-leptonic decay of heavyflavor hadrons has long been a means for studying heavy-quark production. PHENIX has measured single muons in pp collisions at forward rapidity and single electrons in both pp and AuAu collisions at mid-rapidity at √ sNN = 200 GeV. The most recent PHENIX single lepton results are presented in the context of state-of-the-art ...
متن کاملRecent Developments in Heavy Quark and Quarkonium Production
Recent measurements of J/ψ production in ee colliders pose a challenge to the NRQCD factorization theorem for quarkonium production. Discrepancies between leading order calculations of color-octet contributions and the momentum distribution of J/ψ observed by Belle and BaBar are resolved by resumming large perturbative and nonperturbative corrections that are enhanced near the kinematic endpoin...
متن کاملSOME TOPICS ON DOUBLE HEAVY MESONS: HEAVY QUARKONIA AND Bc MESON
The double heavy mesons, i.e. the heavy quarkonia (cc̄), (bb̄) and Bc meson as well as its excited states, are non-relativistic bound-state. Their static properties and most decays may be computed quite precisely by means of the potential model (PM) inspired in QCD and relevant theories as well, whereas their hadronic production was not understood so well, although the hadronic production of J/ψ ...
